Around 1:30 AM on March 7TH, I had a sudden odd feeling that something was going on in my apartment where I been staying with my mother on the other end. I heard a loud explosion, a fire had broke out and I rushed to go and save my mother who was asleep. We we’re able to rush outdoors from the third floor as the flames arose from the second floor. We lost everything we had in the tragedy and were then and now still in complete shock. Both my mother and I were only left with the clothes on our backs and nothing else. We ask that in this tragic time as we work to rebuild our lives that the community can find it in their hearts to be a helping hand. No amount is too big or too small. We appreciate the love, positivity, and prayers that have been sent our way and ask that you continue to send them! May God bless you despite the tragedy we are grateful for our lives.

As many of you know the tragedy my family went through last month we are deeply moved by everyones continuous generosity and kind thoughts. We are moved by the support both friends and strangers have extended and most of all we are moved by the love shown to us in totality. We are an extremely strong family and this incident only allowed us to grow even closer. Thank you to my brother Baptiste Raphael for handling our family finances, my brother Keith Raphael for watching over the family, my sister for always being there and my mother for staying strong. So if it was never said to you before let me say it once more, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
